Well, since I am now getting into Warhammer Historical Gladiator as well as Legends of the High Seas along with Legends of the Old West that I should revamp the blog to accomodate all of the different aspects of the hobby instead of having multiple blogs dedicated to each.

I just ordered my copy of my Legends of the High Seas and should be in my hands within a few days. I also found about 8 old Foundry Miniatures before they revised their packages to the 6 piece sets. Already I have started research to scratch build a ship and started to shop various retailers for pirate miniatures.

As for Gladiator I have most of my order ready to place and should end up with at least two Gladiators of each type and have about 1/3 of the animals featured in the book on what I think is the best savings per figure that I could get.

Next up in Legends of the Old West, so far after I finish the last of the Knuckleduster miniatures I am slowly checking over my models as to what I need to round out each faction that I have and what to start on next.

Scenery is also going to be key for all these games and I have already started plans to make a few things.

Well, not totally done. I have to go back and finish the eyes and the bases.

Here is the last 3 of the Magnificent 7 or rather by Knuckleduster the Marverlous Seven.

At this point I am looking at a few different companies to round out each faction. Short of the Lawmen that have a good selection. I want to buy some extra Banditos (mainly with pistols) from Brigade. Some extra models to the Outlaws and the Cowboys would be a nice rounder for those two groups. After that, I am thinkin of just a few extra models to plug in as hired guns and Citizens then. There are tons of other figures I would love to collect but I am trying to get my list to the items that I most would rather have now.

I managed to paint up about half of the Marvelous 7 (aka the Magnificent 7) and the Client Eastwood look alike from the Heroes set by Knuckleduster. I just have to mass paint the bases, trim them and touch up the eyes and I am done! Time order more!

Here is the Clint's from various movies..

Various Clints from Good, the Bad and the Ugly, Outlaw Jose Wales and High Plains Drifter.

My goal is to push through the Cowtown Chaos, Cowboys and Sidekicks next. The Heroes and Marvelous Seven are some of my favorites and I want to take some time to look at pictures online to make sure I can paint them close to the actual character.

About Me

A long time player of Warhammer since 94. I was first introduced to GW products back to my early years with Talisman. I traded a large collection of Magic Cards in to get my first set of Chaos models and a starter kit with 2nd edition. I had played a few games of Rouge Trader back prior in college at Auburn Univeristy. I now live in Florida enjoying a great community of players and tournaments. A great wife graces my life as well as two wonderful basset hounds.
Of late my interests have moved towards Historical and other independent style wargames and developing great looking scenery for my games.
